Human Notch-3 is part of the Notch family of type I transmembrane glycoproteins involved in a number of early-event developmental processes . The extracellular domain of Notch receptors interact with the extracellular domain of transmembrane ligands Jagged, Delta, and Serrate expressed on the surface of a neighboring cell. In both vertebrates and invertebrates, Notch signaling is important for specifying cell fates and for defining boundaries between different cell types.
NADPH Oxidase 4/NOX4, also known as Renal NADPH Oxidase/RENOX and Kidney Oxidase 1/KOX1, is a 66 to 75 kDa member of the NOX family of NADPH oxidases. NOX family members are a major source of reactive oxygen species (ROS), including hydrogen peroxide and superoxide, and are critical mediators of redox signaling. NOX4 is strongly expressed in the kidney, especially in the proximal convoluted tubule cells of the renal cortex, and may function as an oxygen sensor that regulates the synthesis of erythropoietin. Expression is also high in endothelial cells, and because aortas from deficient mice exhibit increased inflammation, hypertrophy and endothelial dysfunction, NOX4 may function to protect the vasculature during ischemic or inflammatory stress. Human NOX4 is 578 amino acids (aa) in length, with several additional smaller isoforms identified. Over aa 450-578, human NOX4 has 92% sequence identity with mouse NOX4, and 91% identity with rat NOX4.
Niemann-Pick C1 (NPC1), a host receptor involved in the envelope glycoprotein (GP)-mediated entry of filoviruses into cells, is believed to be a major determinant of cell susceptibility to filovirus infection. Niemann-Pick C1 (NPC1), a membrane protein of lysosomes, is required for the export of cholesterol derived from receptor-mediated endocytosis of LDL.The NPC1 protein is a multipass transmembrane protein whose deficiency causes the autosomal recessive lipid storage disorder Niemann-Pick type C1. NPC1 localizes predominantly to late endosomes and has a dileucine motif located within a small cytoplasmic tail thought to target the protein to this location.Niemann-Pick disease Type C1 (NPC1) is a rare progressive neurodegenerative disorder caused by mutations in the NPC1 gene. On the cellular level NPC1 mutations lead to an accumulation of cholesterol and gangliosides.
Neural proliferation differentiation and control protein 1(NPDC1) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NPDC1 gene. It is a single-pass membrane protein and belongs to the NPDC1/cab-1 family. The protein strongly expressed in adult brain and especially in hippocampus; frontal lobe and temporal lobe. The protein suppresses oncogenic transformation in neural and non-neural cells and down-regulates neural cell proliferation and it might be involved in transcriptional regulation.
